SATURDAY. Dec. l.

DEC. II.
The moderate professional trading upon the
surface Of to-day's stock market indicated Q
continuation Of the firm undsrtone that has
characterized the market throughout the week.
The larger interests In the market did not ap-
pear upon It's surface. but 1t goes without say
ing that they were In the market The early
dealings were irregular, owing to q slightly
lower market for American securities in Lon
don. caused by fresh rumors OF war. Wall
street has heard 80 much about the possibili-
ties of a European war that 1t Is an argument
that carries very little weight with 1t. Ger
tainly no one expects hostilities to begin dur
ing the winter season. The threats Of war and
preparation for 1t may answer the purpose Of
spectators for Q short turn In the market, but
ought not to enter into our speculation as .
permanent element OF disQuietude. The specu-
lative interest In the rssdiustment Of rates by
the Granger roads is unouestionably dying out.
since the street is beginning to appreciate that
the readjustment Is not q cutting or reduction
OF rates In the sense that Western operators In
stocks would have 1t believed.
The only decided news to-day was, as Is usu-
ally the case on Saturday, the bank statement.
1t Is the best one that has been made for
months. In the first place. the banks show q
material decrease In their loans, rejecting vol
untary liautdations. and In the second. have
gained o considerable amount Of money. The
increase in the surplus, which may bs regarded
as OF secondary Importance as compared with
the others. is probably one that has great
weight with the average dealer In stocks- The
statement bears out the predictions that have
recently been made that money was likely to
| accumulate at this centre toward the end of
the year. 1t would not be surprising II the
bears should soon point to the surplus OF the
banks and to the easy money market Is srau-
msnts In their favor with a. much readiness
Is they have heretofore pointed 70 0 stringent
